  • Calgary-born twins Taegan and Keelyn announced their signing with the city's Wild FC on Monday. This makes them the two youngest footballers to join the Northern Super League at just 17 years old.

The article from MSN discusses the historic signing of 16-year-old twin sisters, Mya and Mia Jones from Calgary, to the newly established Northern Super League (NSL), marking them as the youngest players ever to sign with a professional women's soccer league in Canada. The twins, who have been playing soccer since they were four, have shown exceptional talent, leading to their recruitment by the Calgary Wild FC. Their signing not only highlights their personal achievements but also underscores the league's commitment to fostering young Canadian talent. The NSL, set to begin its inaugural season in April 2025, aims to provide a platform for women's soccer in Canada, with the Jones sisters' involvement seen as a significant step towards building a robust domestic league. Their mother, a former soccer player herself, has been instrumental in their development, and the twins express excitement about playing professionally in their hometown, inspiring other young athletes.
